Lands End - John O'Groats...............DONE..............at last.!!
After a relatively easy 40miles I could see two pink specs in the distance and soon realised it was Toby & Hattie waiting for me. Once I reached them I could see Neil hobbling up the road pushing a bike ready to do the last bit together. We set of for the finish and Neil even with huge bandage on his knee could not resist getting his big cog out (that's cog not c!!!) needless to say we finished together and job was done.
It's been an emotional journey and overall a great road trip.
Can't wait to get home to see the girls on Sunday.
Here's to wearing normal clothes form now on no more lycra for a long while.
Thanks again to everyone who has lent their support to this venture and helped us raise over £7000 for the Cancer Treatment Research Trust.

Massive well done to Paul and I am just sorry I could complete it all with you it's a fantastic achievement.
With out making any promises and providing I can ride a bike again It is very much my intention to come back and complete the 240 miles from Tyndrum - John O'Groats so you better get training Chris.
Also what Paul forgot to tell you is that the jammy bugger rode over 900 hundred miles without a single puncture, just as well really as he is still not quite sure how to fix one.
Can't wait to get home to see Sam and the kids missed them all dearly.
